sw: My own personal assessment is that I didn't "win" the live debate, per se, but I did hold my own. I've dealt with White hundreds, if not thousands of times in written media - that was my first "live" debate, and I felt as though I did hold my own, especially when questioned on-topic (some of the callers were way off on other subjects). I was also prepared to do more of a Eucharist discussion of John 6, the Calvinist/Predestination aspects, as he interprets them, I did not prepare for - yet even there, I answered quickly and again, held my own. That is a victory of sorts in and of itself, since I was up against one who had already performed in many live debates by that time. I have no problem saying that White is good in a face-to-face live debate; it's a bit different when his opponent has time to check sources and do a little research to respond to him. I have never "lost" to him in a written debate.

sw: 1) I prefer NOT to do live debates. They may prove who is a better debater - but the the truth doesn't necessarily prevail, just because someone is tactful in a live debate.
2) I don't have much planned for August, except the weekend of the 6th through the 8th, I'll be out of town - but I doubt White would be interested either.

sw: I don't know about the rest of them, but Dr. Hahn has never been "in the business" to debate White.
